Hello,
anyone succeeding in doing what in subject?
F18 node with 3.2 final. ANother server with f18 and engine (3.2 also)
Tried with a Win 7 VM and a CentOS 5 VM.
I successfully create a snapshot.
Then I right-click the snapshot line and select "clone"
I get this window that remains there without exiting....
See here:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvRFVsQ1J3QVk1TGM/edit?usp=sharing
WHat kind of log to provide?
Thanks,

Here they are.
Snapshot has been taken around 14:45. Clone of the snapshot attempted
around 14:47

What you mean with "does the snapshot has disks?" ? I hope so.... ;-)
But if I select the snapshot line and go atthe right panel, the disk
columns seems empty....

BTW: nothing changes if the VM is powered off when I take the
snapshot. A following clone operation remains with the white window I
sent before...
NOTE: On February 5th on this same infra I was with engine and node at
nightly repo as of vdsm-4.10.3-0.78.gitb005b54.fc18.x86_64 and I was
able to successfully complete this kind of operation. It was done with
the VM powered off.

Gianluca,
please try to refresh the UI, you should see the snapshot disks.
regarding the clone issue, it was solved by this patch:
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/11254/
so if you'll use the latest it should be fine.

What do you mean with "latest"?
Latest stable, so 3.2 as I'm running right now?
In that case it doesn't work for me.. I'm going to check the files
referred...
Even with refresh and using both ie and Firefox I see the disk, network
columns of the snapshot empty...the ones in the square box at bottom right
when selecting the line relative to the snapshot itself... as in the image
I posted before..
1:10 p.m.
Latest build (not release), as in from:
http://resources.ovirt.org/releases/nightly/rpm/Fedora/18/
Good luck,
Vered

Yes but now I'm on an ovirt- stable environment.
Also, nightly is now at 3.3 code version, while I would like to stay
on 3.2 for now for this test environment.
I think this is a serious bug, is there anything in the air to be
proposed as a patch/update for 3.2 stable?
Otherwise in release notes you should notice that you are unable to
create clones.... or is there any other way to create a clone?

Hi Gianluca,
I've built 3.2 and had success in reproducing your issue, I've also tested the fix
and after it the clone window shows fine - so this should solve your issue
(http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/11254/).
Thanks, Liron.

tested the fix and after it the clone window shows fine - so this
should solve your issue (http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/11254/).
Thanks, Liron.
By the way, it should work through the REST API as well.

Hello,
so I rebuilt with the patch.
I built as in this thread:
http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2013-February/012702.html
directly on engine server and with engine stopped:
sudo rpm -Uvh --force $(ls -1|grep -v all)
with
$ ls -1|grep -v all
ovirt-engine-3.2.0-4.fc18.noarch.rpm
ovirt-engine-backend-3.2.0-4.fc18.noarch.rpm
ovirt-engine-config-3.2.0-4.fc18.noarch.rpm
ovirt-engine-dbscripts-3.2.0-4.fc18.noarch.rpm
ovirt-engine-genericapi-3.2.0-4.fc18.noarch.rpm
ovirt-engine-notification-service-3.2.0-4.fc18.noarch.rpm
ovirt-engine-restapi-3.2.0-4.fc18.noarch.rpm
ovirt-engine-setup-3.2.0-4.fc18.noarch.rpm
ovirt-engine-tools-common-3.2.0-4.fc18.noarch.rpm
ovirt-engine-userportal-3.2.0-4.fc18.noarch.rpm
ovirt-engine-webadmin-portal-3.2.0-4.fc18.noarch.rpm
and then reboot the engine
Results:
OK, for the snapshot details pane. It seem the patch fixes this too.
Until now I was never able to see snapshot details,
Instead now I can see disk and nic details. See:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvQmlCZTZBYjBadmc/edit?usp=sharing
OK, if I clone a VM from a snapshot of a running VM (CentOS 5.6)
I start the clone and no problem at all.
well done!
Corner cases and problems
1)
OK, if I clone a powered on VM from a snapshot with two disks and here
you can find clone in action with webadmin gui and iotop on node that
shows they are cloning in parallel.. well!
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvZ3lzY0l1MDc5OVE/edit?usp=sharing
The VM is a slackware 14 32bit with virtio disk that I obtained from a
virt-v2v from CentOS 6.3+Qemu/KVM
The problem is that the cloned VM recognizes the disks in reversed order
See these images where sl1432 is master slcone is the clone
disk layout in details pane seems equal with boot disk the one that
appears as the second, but the master boots ok, the slave no.
Disks are swapped
Master VM disk details:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvSWNVNFI4bHg4Umc/edit?usp=sharing
Clone VM disks details:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvM1N0bVcyNlFPS1U/edit?usp=sharing
Page with the two consoles where you can see that vda of master
becomes vdb of clone and vice-versa:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mveFpESEs5V1dUTFE/edit?usp=sharing
Can I swap again in some way? In VMware for example you can see and
edit SCSI IDs of disks...
2)
KO, if I clone a windows 7 VM from a snapshot (time 17:09) I get this on gui
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvaW9OVW84WVI1dkU/edit?usp=sharing
You can find the engine.log from server restart (at 17:06) here:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvTDQzRTFfbFgxX0E/edit?usp=sharing
Are there any restrictions?
The VM was powered off when taking the snapshot and making the clone.

Hi Gianluca,
Regarding the second item you mentioned - failure of the clone vm from snapshot,
the engine log indicates that the following error occurred "Volume Group not big
enough" - suggesting you might check if you have enough free space.

Can you please provide the engine logs where the boot success/failure of master and clone
can be seen?
OK.
here it is:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mva2Z2dUNJTWlCWHM/edit?usp=sharing
Starting point 15:16 both powered off.
First message with 15:17 is boot of sl1432b that is the master and boots ok.
First message with 15:21 is boot of slclone that is the clone.
The slackware OS uses lilo as boot loader and on master it is
configured this way at the moment:
root@sl1432b:~# grep -v ^# /etc/lilo.conf
append=" vt.default_utf8=0"
boot = /dev/vda
bitmap = /boot/slack.bmp
bmp-colors = 255,0,255,0,255,0
bmp-table = 60,6,1,16
bmp-timer = 65,27,0,255
prompt
timeout = 50
change-rules
reset
vga = normal
disk=/dev/vda bios=0x80 max-partitions=7
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/vda2
initrd = /boot/initrd.gz
label = Linux
read-only
The "disk=..." entry was added to be able to support boot from device
of type vda in slackware, that doesn't support it ootb..

Hi,
Thanks for additional information.
The engine log actually shows that slclone started ok:
"VM slclone c6c56d41-d70d-4b9b-a1cb-8b0c097b89a0 moved from PoweringUp -->
Up"
Can you explain what problem are you experiencing in that VM?
Also, could provide the vdsm log from the same timeframe?

What is important here is to check the boot properties of both devices as
they are configured for the master and clone.
They might not be swapped, the order in the console is not necessarily the issue here.
Please attach vdsm.log with times of both machines boot. the properties of the devices
boot should be part of the startup command so it should help to investigate the issue.

But as you can see in the two-consoles image, for slclone vda appears
as the 4Gb disk, that doesn't contain anything in the MBR and so is
actually unable to boot....
Possibly a way to view/edit scsi order of disks could be an
enhancement in oVirt.

Hi Gianluca,
Regarding the second item you mentioned - failure of the clone vm from snapshot,
the engine log indicates that the following error occurred "Volume Group not big
enough" - suggesting you might check if you have enough free space.
Yes, you are right. I thought I had selected a storage domain with
sufficient free space but probably it was not so.
I just repeated the operation, creating a snapshot and then a clone of
the same VM and selecting an SD with sufficient free space, and it
completed correctly with the cloned VM able to boot.
I take the occasion to suggest oVirt to at least behave this way:
1) pre-calculate necessary space and in case of problems don't start
the clone operations but send a warning message impeding it
If during 1) all was ok and in the mean time went KO (unexpected new
storage allocated that made impossible clone completion)
2) notify the user with the actual problem (insufficient space) and
not those crypic messages....

Those are indeed great improvement suggestions for a better user experience.
It will be great if you could add it in bugzilla (as RFE) so it can be followed and
managed there:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=oVirt
Thank you!

OK. Done
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=917682
I didn't know how to post an rfe bug, so I chose "unspecified" as
severity and put "RFE:" at the beginning of subject.
Feel free to modify it if this is the wrong way to submit RFE bug...

just on bugzilla process - there is a Keywords field. FutureFeature or
Improvement would mark it as "an RFE".

aha, ok.
Possibly a dropdown list in that field would be better, instead of
click on "keyword" hyperlink to see possible values and their
explanation... lso to cover mistyping
Thanks anyway

Hi all,
I am facing the same problem regarding the VM clone & viewing the
details from snapshot as Gianluca has described in this current thread.
The single problem I am facing now, is that your thread is from 3 months
old, I am using el6 stable repository on a CentOS 6.3 installation and
my rpm list below looks like:
ovirt-engine-sdk-3.2.0.10-1.el6.noarch
ovirt-engine-webadmin-portal-3.2.1-1.beta1.el6.noarch
ovirt-engine-setup-3.2.1-1.beta1.el6.noarch
ovirt-engine-userportal-3.2.1-1.beta1.el6.noarch
ovirt-engine-dbscripts-3.2.1-1.beta1.el6.noarch
ovirt-engine-3.2.1-1.beta1.el6.noarch
ovirt-engine-cli-3.2.0.11-1.el6.noarch
ovirt-engine-tools-3.2.1-1.beta1.el6.noarch
ovirt-engine-genericapi-3.2.1-1.beta1.el6.noarch
ovirt-engine-backend-3.2.1-1.beta1.el6.noarch
ovirt-engine-restapi-3.2.1-1.beta1.el6.noarch
As I can see, there were some revision set updates on the ovirt engine
core rpms, that I suppose, it should include this as well:
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/11254/
Can someone provide me some piece of advice on how to fix things ?
Thanks you.

Hello,
so I rebuilt with the patch.
I built as in this thread:
http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2013-February/012702.html
directly on engine server and with engine stopped:
sudo rpm -Uvh --force $(ls -1|grep -v all)
with
$ ls -1|grep -v all
ovirt-engine-3.2.0-4.fc18.noarch.rpm
ovirt-engine-backend-3.2.0-4.fc18.noarch.rpm
ovirt-engine-config-3.2.0-4.fc18.noarch.rpm
ovirt-engine-dbscripts-3.2.0-4.fc18.noarch.rpm
ovirt-engine-genericapi-3.2.0-4.fc18.noarch.rpm
ovirt-engine-notification-service-3.2.0-4.fc18.noarch.rpm
ovirt-engine-restapi-3.2.0-4.fc18.noarch.rpm
ovirt-engine-setup-3.2.0-4.fc18.noarch.rpm
ovirt-engine-tools-common-3.2.0-4.fc18.noarch.rpm
ovirt-engine-userportal-3.2.0-4.fc18.noarch.rpm
ovirt-engine-webadmin-portal-3.2.0-4.fc18.noarch.rpm
and then reboot the engine
Results:
OK, for the snapshot details pane. It seem the patch fixes this too.
Until now I was never able to see snapshot details,
Instead now I can see disk and nic details. See:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvQmlCZTZBYjBadmc/edit?usp=sharing
OK, if I clone a VM from a snapshot of a running VM (CentOS 5.6)
I start the clone and no problem at all.
well done!
Corner cases and problems
1)
OK, if I clone a powered on VM from a snapshot with two disks and here
you can find clone in action with webadmin gui and iotop on node that
shows they are cloning in parallel.. well!
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvZ3lzY0l1MDc5OVE/edit?usp=sharing
The VM is a slackware 14 32bit with virtio disk that I obtained from a
virt-v2v from CentOS 6.3+Qemu/KVM
The problem is that the cloned VM recognizes the disks in reversed order
See these images where sl1432 is master slcone is the clone
disk layout in details pane seems equal with boot disk the one that
appears as the second, but the master boots ok, the slave no.
Disks are swapped
Master VM disk details:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvSWNVNFI4bHg4Umc/edit?usp=sharing
Clone VM disks details:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvM1N0bVcyNlFPS1U/edit?usp=sharing
Page with the two consoles where you can see that vda of master
becomes vdb of clone and vice-versa:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mveFpESEs5V1dUTFE/edit?usp=sharing
Can I swap again in some way? In VMware for example you can see and
edit SCSI IDs of disks...
2)
KO, if I clone a windows 7 VM from a snapshot (time 17:09) I get this on gui
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvaW9OVW84WVI1dkU/edit?usp=sharing
You can find the engine.log from server restart (at 17:06) here:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvTDQzRTFfbFgxX0E/edit?usp=sharing
Are there any restrictions?
The VM was powered off when taking the snapshot and making the clone.

As far as I understood, the upcoming 3.2.2 should have the problem
directly fixed in it without need of recompiling, also for EL6 repo.
I think that you could enable updates-testing repo for your ovirt and
then your update would access the packages here:
http://resources.ovirt.org/releases/updates-testing/rpm/EL/6/noarch/
such as
ovirt-engine-3.2.2-1.1.el6.noarch.rpm
or you can wait for the final push in stable repo....
HIH,
